After going back-and-forth for most of the game, Halls scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to win, 31-17.
It's the Devils' second consecutive win over the Eagles.
Halls' week two game against Karns is canceled. Their next scheduled game is at Clinton on Sept. 4. The Eagles start a three-game home stand with a match up against Seymour on Aug. 28.
